Through their successful projects notably #GreenWanderer, the Earth Hour 2017 Camp, and their Sustainability Campaign, Batch 1 reached out to more than 800,000 individuals both online and (more importantly) offline, spurring change and bringing WWF-Philippines to the forefront of youth activism.

Recently, they held various activities, including an exhibit on Earth Day featuring the photos of fellow members and award-winning photographers Gab Mejia and Ganden Po, while biologists Romina Lim and Justin Domingo hosted marine conservation sessions for the community members in El Nido, Palawan. On International Youth Day, the council led by Giselle Lapid, Mirus Ponon, and Romina Lim organized an eco-exploration activity with youth leaders at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center. Another notable initiative was led by Ron Caguliodo, who helped organized relief efforts for the communities affected by the oil spill in Oriental Mindoro. Individually, the members continued to create ripples of change by representing the organization and participating in local and international events, including conferences, symposiums and paper presentations in Batangas, Japan, Singapore and Mexico.
